Oppenheimer

Took the day off to, for the most part, watch Oppenheimer, in an effort to chip away at the accumulated PTO. 

Only decided to watch it at Pyramid just so I can use the racked up points to pay nothing for the prepaid parking in the app, also the first screening of the day was before 11 a.m.. I also finally used up the racked up TGV points to redeem a ticket, so that I could splurge on a popcorn. I forgot how much the regular caramel popcorn sucked, it's been that long. It took so long to get the damn popcorn, I was just in time for the start of the movie. There's probably fewer than a dozen people in the whole place on a Tuesday morning.

Going in, I remember a lot of the names of the major physicists (either from Physics class or some history course) like Bohr, Heisenberg (before Breaking Bad), etc. 

  • Wah, the cast for this movie is damn stacked ah - so many Oscar winners and nominees all. 
  • After years of Cillian Murphy playing non-lead characters in numerous Nolan movies, dude finally gets to be a lead in a Nolan movie. Woo. 
  • Did not recognise Josh Hartnett in this at all. 
  • There should be a WWII-set movie where Gary Oldman plays both Truman and Churchill or something LOL (cos he was Churchill in Darkest Hour)
  • Yah, very easy to shave a minute off the run time. 
  • Haven't Emily Blunt and Matt Damon played a couple on screen before?
  • Yep, got the CGI dress here 
Watched it to get a break from the sequels, prequels, and other IP-based movies.

I don't hate it, but I don't like it enough to want to watch it again.
